I reviewed my personal finances this morning. This is something that I've done on a monthly basis for the last several years. I originally started doing it because I had recently quit my job in investment banking and found myself constantly concerned with how much money I had left in the bank and how fast I was burning through it. I found that a once monthly review was frequent enough to free me from the feeling that I needed to worry about my finances more generally outside of that brief tim...

"Working for your bags" is mostly a myth. People's bags are filled with hundreds, even thousands of coins. It is impractical for them to do anything for all of them, and most people don't end up doing anything for any of them. But we have thousands of holders working for their bags every day with $QR, because we have made it interesting, profitable, and as easy as possible. I will explain how in the order in which I believe they are important. 1. AS EASY AS POSSIBLE - we ask users to take 1 a...

I generally say no to externally proposed “collaborations” which require work from my side because the work usually ends up being 10x what was expected and if it wasn’t an internally sourced idea it is unlikely to be the single best use of my time working on a project. That is the thing that I most want to be spending time on because anything else is by definition a worse use of my time working on the project. I am sharing this publicly so that people can know that I am not just saying no to ...

Most coins are moment coins. Whether they are memecoins, appcoins, creator coins, or otherwise, they have their moment, and then they usually die. Occasionally they have another moment, but even if they do, they usually die after that. Most moment coins have the same moment, in terms of the timing of that moment at least. That moment is, roughly speaking, at "launch". For most moment coins, the "launch moment" happens literally when the token launches. That "moment" may last minutes, hours, d...

I am working to build passive income through internet-based businesses to sustainably support my ability to continue to work on whatever I want. I am approaching a stage of life when I understand it can become harder to continue prioritizing working on what I want versus trading some of my autonomy for a job which will more dependably earn significant income. This “stage” that I speak of involves buying a house with a mortgage, having kids, and starting to build a family, all of which tend to...

WHAT DAY OF YOUR LIFE IS TODAY? I write that number down next to the day’s date whenever I write in my morning journal. It’s an easy way to keep life in perspective. Over the years, whenever I go a while between journal entries, I need to look that number up again. I feel like it’s always a different site, and I’ve never found one I particularly liked, so yesterday I decided to make one myself. What day of your life is today? Find out now @ dayof.life

i think if you think something is "interesting" that is a good enough reason to work on it even if it does not seem important, just being interesting i think is enough i think people working on things they are interested in can lead to them working on something they are interested in that is actually important, often in unpredictable ways but even if the interesting work never leads to important work i think a world in which lots of people are working on things that they are interested in is ...

With crypto, digital assets are trivial to transfer, perpetually marked to market, and instantly liquid. The combination of these three traits brings us back to a future of bartering in the sense that you will ultimately be able to pay for anything with any of your digital assets, as long as they are of the right value. In traditional bartering, both sides have to be interested in what the other has to offer, but that is no longer the case. With crypto, there is a free, instant, and automated...
